7Possibilities of Grace is a series of alternate scriptural readings by Reverend Asbury Lowery, sourced from early Bible scriptures in Greek, and the ancient Christian church.

Lowery, a preacher and scholar of ancient literature, was moved to unite his two specialisms by examining the Bible and prominent figures of early Christianity. Sourcing early versions of the gospels and Old Testament in Greek, he begins by explaining a series of words which occur frequently in the scripture. These Greek terms can receive more than one interpretation; thus, there are new possibilities of grace.

Given that Lowery, in conducting his readings of ancient texts, has circumvented many more recent traditions of Christianity, he is emboldened to assert that the word of God is purest in these ancient documents. Any subsequent interpretation, be it from a scholar or a denomination of Christianity, is a barrier between the believer and the truest principles of God divulged in antiquity.

The original testaments are described as gold and silver by Lowery, who seeks to provide the reader with a clear reinterpretation cleaving to truth. Additionally, Lowery examines the history of the ancient church, and the figures who were influential in its founding and growth. He notes the impact that figures such as Augustine, Bishop of Hippo and Cyprian, the Bishop of Carthage had on early doctrine.

In all, Possibilities of Grace is a convincing and thorough study of Christian principles which goes above and beyond many other texts of its kind. By delving into the earliest iterations of the scriptures, and investigating the events in the early church, Reverend Lowery produced a convincing and informative work of scholarship.
